Sounds like the drive you'd use with a PC Transporter...a run-of-the-mill
5.25" DSDD drive that uses MFM and puts 360K on a disk.  The mechanism, if
removed from its case, should work with any x86 box (I haven't run across
one yet that doesn't have a floppy controller on it).  On a II, I would
think a BlueDisk (?) would be able to use it as well, but it's not a Disk
II-compatible device.
